The Wisconsin Badgers and the Maryland Terrapins meet in college basketball action from the XFINITY Center on Wednesday night.

The Wisconsin Badgers will look to bounce back from a 74-62 loss to Ohio State last time out. D’Mitrik Trice leads the Badgers in scoring and assists with 14.6 PPG with 3.9 APG while Micah Potter has 12.1 PPG and a team-high 6.5 RPG to make up the duo of double-digit scorers for Wisconsin coming into this matchup. Aleem Ford has 9.6 PPG with 4.4 RPG while Brad Davison has 9.4 PPG with 2.9 RPG and 2.4 APG and Nate Reuvers has 9.3 PPG with 3.8 RPG this season. As a team, Wisconsin is averaging 72.6 PPG on 44% shooting from the field, 37.9% from 3-point range and 75.3% shooting from the foul line while allowing 62.2 PPG on 40.5% shooting from the field and 32.6% from 3-point range this season.

The Maryland Terrapins will look to build off of a 63-49 win over Minnesota in their last game. Eric Ayala leads the Terps in scoring with 14.4 PPG while Donta Scott has 13 PPG with 6.9 RPG to lead the Terrapins on the glass. Aaron Wiggins has 12.2 PPG with 5.3 RPG and a team-high 3 APG this season to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Maryland up to this point. As a team, Maryland is averaging 72.4 PPG on 46.8% shooting from the field, 36.3% from 3-point range and 67% from the foul line while allowing 67.4 PPG on 42.6% shooting from the field and 35.1% shooting from 3-point range this season.

Wisconsin is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games and 4-0-2 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss while the under is 7-2-1 in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record. Maryland is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a win while the over is 15-5-1 in their last 21 games overall.

A home dog is usually tempting and the Terrapins are coming off of that win at Minnesota where better teams have fallen to the Gophers this season. However, Wisconsin is out for revenge here and are not only the better team, but are a team that will force you into mistakes and are extremely disciplined. I think the Badgers ratchet up the pressure and get a win over the Terrapins, covering the number in the process.
